Sorry sir, you can’t take that trophy rack on board; and the fee to put it in cargo is $150. Ma’am, this gun case does not meet airline standards, we can’t check it. Nope, you cannot bring that firearm back into the U.S.

Don’t Let laws, Regulations and Airline Security Ruin Your Trip
Sorry sir, you can’t take that trophy rack on board; and the fee to put it in cargo is $150. Ma’am, this gun case does not meet airline standards, we can’t check it. Nope, you cannot bring that firearm back into the U.S.
The U.S. Travel Security Administration (TSA) says regulations are strictly enforced. Violations can result in criminal prosecution and civil penalties of up to $10,000 per violation. Each airline/country also has its own rules and regs.
What should you do? Act like a Boy Scout. Be prepared so you don’t find yourself in one of these positions or worse.
During a live, webinar, Sept. 20, at 2 p.m. Eastern time, North American Hunting Club Executive Director Bill Miller will teach you how to eliminate travel hassles.
Here’s a sample of what attendees will learn:
1) The most important thing to know about bringing guns back into the U.S.
2) Five measures to help ensure you and your guns/ammo, end up in the same place
3) The best travel gun cases
4) How to book hunting travel (airlines, hotels, etc.)
5) Tips for traveling with trophies and meat
6) Traveling with hunting dogs
7) Requirements for traveling with ammunition
The heaviest focus of the webinar will be on airline travel and crossing borders. However, many tips also apply to interstate travel in private vehicles.
